This is one of the many short trips that I ever did. As I mentioned from my previous journal that my work sometime involved in Frankfurt and when the training or work takes about 2 weeks, the weekend in between I will be free. On 23 March 2002, I chose to go to Ausburg to see the Neuschwanstein Castle. I was bored earlier in the week and most of my other colleague already made their plan. For some of them that live one or two hour flight away, they go home to meet the people they love. I live...

We stayed overnight in Garmisch, in a hotel that was like two joined by an underground bunker corridor. Very strange.  Our first night under a duvet.  Different. Today, the CASTLE!  Up, showered, dressed, ran for food and on the bus ready and eagerly awaiting the quick trip.  Of all days, someone was 10 minutes late!  It was nearly 8 am before we got on the road for the short trip. Almost everyone wasted pics on what we thought might be the castle. Finally ...

So... after spending 6 hours (spread out through last month) in a snowdome where I live I got the chance to try out a real mountain with 5 others! The first day was awesome... I spent all day on a green/blue slope (easy-medium level) and though falling LOTS of times it was really fun. It wasn't until next morning when I woke up that I seriously felt like someone had beaten me with a baseball bat... knees, bum, arms, ribs, head.. I think I managed to fall on everything... really, I have neve...

My vacation in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany

We climbed up the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain, on the Holentalle via ferrata route. We set out at 6:45am on the Hollentale route.  In all, it was an excellent day.  We hiked a steep uphill route for about two hours, then arrived at the Hollentalangerhutte (the last restaurant/inn along the Hollentale).  We hiked a bit further past the hut and reached the base of the first via feratta portion.  At the top of that section, we were within view of the glacier.&...

6 days with my best friend Pat in Bavaria with trips to Munich,Zugspitze,Innsbruck and Augsburg...

This was the next best day, it was up there with the 30 mile walk of the 25th. We got a train from Innsbruck to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, home of the highest mountain in Germany at 2, 964 metres. We bought two round trips to the 2, 962 level. The cable car ride was seriously scary, easily the scariest one I've been on. When we were nearing the top, you couldn't see anything, there were clouds all around. When we got to the top, there was SNOW everywhere. Snow!! In August!! I knew it was cold bu...

Two year tour at Germany, stationed at Sembach AB. Places visited in Germany, Frankfurt, Munich, Garmisch, Mainz, Trier, Bitburg, Mannheim, Rodenburg, Rust, Heidelberg, Bamberg, and various smaller towns within 3hrs of Froehnerhof.

It was a pretty miserable day, cold and misty and grey weather. It was one of these days when you rather stay in bed and sleep, read or watch tv only interrupted by the occasional trip to the fridge and other necessary calls.Well, we, that is, my hubby and I, had promised ourselves that we do this short day-trip today. So we forced ourselves to get up and ready and into the car by 2 pm. We were based in Garching near Munich and the drive to Garmisch-Partenkirchen shouldn't take longer than on...

Wow! I did it! I stood at the very peak of the highest mountain in Germany. Zugspitze stands 2,962 meters high. We took a train and cable car up, and then climbed over to the peak. Check out the photos and you will see why I am proud of myself : )
